Firewire Sci-Fi 2.0 buying guide

The Sci-Fi 2.0 is a Rob Machado collaboration shortboard — a wide, fast shape that generates speed in smaller surf while still turning well on better days. It bridges the gap between a groveler and a standard performance shortboard, which makes it one of the most practical everyday boards in the Firewire lineup.

Shape and performance

The Sci-Fi 2.0 is wider and flatter-rockered than a standard performance shortboard, which gives it early entry, easy speed generation, and a lot of planing surface in weak conditions. It is not a pure groveler — it has enough rocker and rail to perform well in average to overhead surf. The perfect board for inconsistent Southern California beach break where you need speed on the small days and performance when the surf picks up.

Rob Machado collaboration

Rob Machado is one of surfing's most stylish and technically accomplished surfers. His Sci-Fi shapes have always prioritised flow, speed, and feel — the Sci-Fi 2.0 reflects his approach to finding performance in imperfect waves.

Sci-Fi 2.0 vs MachadoCado

TheMachadoCadois another Rob Machado shape — wider and more fish-inspired, with a thruster setup rather than 5-fin. The Sci-Fi 2.0 runs a 5-fin box for thruster or quad versatility and has a slightly more performance-oriented outline. If you want a 5-fin versatile everyday board, Sci-Fi 2.0. If you want something wider and more fish-like with a thruster, MachadoCado.
